  Served blind, funky gamey nose, smells like a Northern Rhone but taste like a mature Bordeaux, elegant, finesse, pleasurable

  While the nose was a fun barnyard, I found the wine very one-dimensional & flat. Past its prime?

  Northern Rhone Dinner 2 vintages of La Chappelle, Landonne, Voge (Seattle, WA): Opaque garnet. The nose on this is quite deep and filled with savory notes. Cured meat, olives, and plenty of earthy/mushroom components. Full bodied wine which was certainly the most rustic of the bunch. Red and black fruit with some stone fruit thrown in which gave it some higher tones. This is quite a masculine wine which transitions that fruit laden mid palate to a mélange of umami and meaty flavors on the long finish. Great balance, but the structure is still in front a bit on this one. We drank this from a 375 and I wish I could taste this on the second day.

  Pretty disappointing. It have been mildly corked -- certainly not much, but the aromas and flavors were duller than they should have been. Conceivably it was still shut down, though that seems odd to me. It was tight and sour, not giving much at all, right out of the gate. It seemed to have something going on after an hour or so in the decanter, but only a glimmer. The fruit still seemed bright and fresh as far as I could tell.
